Is the cost of living in Arnhem high?
We asked people how much they someone comfortably live on in Arnhem, they wrote:
"The cost of living in Arnhem is considered moderate compared to other European cities. Rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center can be quite expensive, while those located outside the city center are relatively cheaper. The cost of utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, water, and garbage is also moderate and can be higher depending on usage. Groceries in Arnhem can be pricey, with items such as bread, milk, and eggs costing more than in other cities. Eating out at restaurants can also be costly, especially in more upscale establishments. However, there are also affordable dining options available. Public transportation in Arnhem is efficient and widely used, but the cost can add up if used daily. Owning and maintaining a car can be quite expensive due to high fuel costs and parking fees. Healthcare in Arnhem is of high quality but can be expensive if not covered by insurance. Fitness and sports activities are also available but can add to the monthly expenses. Overall, the cost of living in Arnhem can be manageable if one plans and budgets carefully. It is also worth noting that salaries in Arnhem are generally high, which can offset the cost of living," said one expat in Arnhem.
